selphie_t | 49th Draw [Voice/Action/Open to newbies and nags alike!]

[Backdated to earlier in the day!

It's the first since Selphie had been returned to the village that she dares to venture outside of the house. Of course, she's going out pretty well bundled up but she's in her better safe than sorry mode. Frankly though, if she stays in the house for one minute longer, she may have to start scaling the walls or jumping from the roof of the house again. Housemates of course, might be more than a bit alarmed if Selphie starts jumping off said roof so she decides not to do so. It was fun mind you but yeah... housemates freaking out and possibly landing on Frey again didn't sound like a good idea.

At first, she sits on the porch of the house and just breathes in the fresh air. It's mildly surprising at first but Selphie gets used to the cold air after a few moments. She contemplates going back inside for a few moments before tugging her scarf up higher to cover her nose and cheeks. Really, she looks like a bundled up mass of yellow and pink.

She's just so thrilled to be outside after spending most of the week inside. She takes it slowly at first with her journal in tow and she'll just wander through the village like she did when she first arrived. She missed so many of the New Feathers this time around so she'll wonder if she'll run into any of them this time around. Has she met you? She'd love to meet you and it's not like she's hard to miss. She'll stop by her usual haunts once she arrives in the plaza though.

First stop, she wants a new book or two to read so she'll go check out what's available before wandering about in a lazy pattern. She stops eventually to get something warm to drink before she starts to head back toward the house once again. Maybe she should stop at the clinic and get a check-up just in case the Malnosso have done something to her that she doesn't know about? She doesn't know what they did to her this time but after sleeping off drugs for almost three days, she'd be happier with it out-of-sight, out-of-mind.

She sits down on the fountain's ledge today and decides to put out a general query to the populace of Luceti. One might notice that her voice is a bit muffled though. Blame the scarf, it's cold out!]

Have you got airships where you come from? If so, tell me something about them! Anything at all will do.

[Selphie smiles cheerfully. It's good to see Kida in better spirits than when she'd last seen him.]

Tell me more. I'm all ears.

[He shrugs, slowly taking the steps closer to her]

Well~ I don't know all the details, but they use big rockets to shoot up there... it must be romantic in space, don't you think?

It sounds pretty important though. It's not every day that you get to fly to the moon.

Of course not! But it was before I was born, so I can't tell you that much about it-.

So tell me what you know then.

[Smiiirk. Okay he sliiides in next to her on the fountain side and nods to himself]

Well! It all started with the space race! America and Russia were racing to see who could be in space first.

[She likes to learn new things and she can't deny the fact that she's rather interested in this world that a lot of Luceti's residents are hailing from. She nods eagerly and waits for Kida to continue.]

...I don't really remember who won, but it had to do with sputnik. But, after that, then the race became about getting to the moon instead of just getting to space!

Sputnik. What the heck's a Sputnik? That's a pretty dumb name. And then they decided to go the moon.

I'm pretty sure sputnik is some Russian guy they sent into space... or a ship they sent.

So they sent a guy named Sputnik into space and left him there?

No, he came back.

Anyway, what happened with the race to the moon? Who made it there first?

America did! "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind!"

[Insert more eager nodding here and a mental note is made to find out more about this great space race later on.]

And that's exactly how it happened! [In a shitty historian's world]

Mhmm! [Selphie intends on getting the whole story later but at least Kida's back to normal.]

Thanks for telling me.

No Problem!~ [THIS POSE. And then a sage nod] No problem at all, Selphie-chan.

It's so nice to have such a spring of information at my disposal. [Maybe if she strokes his ego a little bit...? Good idea? Bad idea?]

Now if only I could win you over completely! Aaaah, Ceodore, I'm jealous!~

[No Kida. Just, no.]

Not a chance.

Right? It's a travesty! [complete with a wink as he leans back before smirking at her]

[Selphie grins impishly at Kida before giving him a friendly pat on the shoulder.]

Just try not to make him mad. He's very protective of me. [Doesn't help that she's crawled over and booted him in the gut and them jumped off the roof from the second floor of the house and came out without a scratch but hey, when you're illogical it just works out.]

But if you're so in love, it's not like I can break it, right? [With a little shrugs here, and then a seemingly great sigh]

I won't -- [She heard that sigh and her attention snaps right to you, Kida.]

Is everything okay?
